Valero to help open new hike and bike trail

At 11 a.m. Tuesday, Valero employees and city officials will open a new trailhead for the north end of the city’s Leon Creek Greenway hike and bike trail.

Valero provided right-of-way across its property to make the northern leg of the trail – from Loop 1604 to Bamberger Nature Park – possible.

Valero worked with the city and the Texas Department of Transportation to build walkways along Loop 1604 and on its property so that Valero employees could have access to the new trail without having to be on busy streets.

Mayor Julian Castro, Councilman Reed Williams and former Mayor Howard Peak will join Valero CEO Bill Klesse and Valero employees in the trailhead parking lot behind the Drury Inn at the southwest corner of Interstate 10 and Loop 1604 to officially open the trail.
